The Juan D. Nepomuceno Center for Kapampangan Studies of Holy Angel University was inaugurated in March 8 2002, when the university also hosted the First International Conference on Kapampangan Studies six months prior. It is perhaps today's benchmark in regional study center in the Philippines.
The Kapampangan Museum has 3 floors and even the outside is an exhibit already. The trees in front are some that became the names of some Pampanga towns and city. and Before entering the center, you will notice the year of foundation 1933, a Latin inscriptions Laus Deo Semper, the university's motto which says Praise Always to God, and 1953
Once you open the door, you will definitely be drawn by the retablo in the center. It is already a showcase of Kapampangan folk arts as this took the collaboration of the santeros of Macabebe, woodcarvers of Betis and the pukpuk makers of Apalit and Mexico. It contains the patron saint of all 22 towns and cities including the patroness of the province in the center.
Beside the stair is a woodcarving depicting all kinds of procession in Pampanga as one continuous flow . This piece is called Limbun and was made by Boyet Flores of Betis. On the left is the John A. Larkin Library. Larkin is the author of "The Pampangans" and remains the gold standard for works on Kapampangan history and society. His research materials are turned over by her widow to the CKS.
Also in this level is the floor for special exhibits. Starting October 18 at 9:00am, that space will exhibit Feast of Clay, Kuran: An exhibit of old Pottery and Objects of Clay.
The second floor is home to the Archival Collection hosting original papers, documents, manuscripts, rare books, photographs, written records and other ephemera that reveal the richness of Pampanga's Culture and History.
The topmost floor is dedicated to the Filipiniana Collection of Prof. Ambeth Ocampo which was transferred to the CKS from the National Library in 2018. Filipiniana refers to Philippine Studies. This library is home to more than 6,000 volumes on Philippine Studies.
Thinking about it, you need not go far if you would like to have a breathe of Philippine and Kapampangan studies. CKS is so rich that we need to put this feature in parts. 2 more to be exact.
Speaking of Museums, do you want to help one? By simply enjoying a day in Goshen Resort and learning more about WW2, you are also aiding the Bamban WWII Museum / Bamban Historical Society of Mr. Rhonie Dela Cruz. More information on this link:
